🇧🇷🥣Brazil proves that ending hunger isn’t a technological challenge, but a political one.

It requires redistribution, democratic planning, and sustained public investment – not just GDP growth or fertilizer subsidies, @rajpatel.org writes for @foodtank.bsky.social

No Beef Here. Brazil Beat Hunger the Right Way

Brazil feeds the world, but its greatest export might be the policies that ended hunger at home.

Agroecology is gaining donors but are movements gaining power? 👉 www.proximate.press/latest-stori...

The farmers test agroecology, but need continued support to make sure that that knowledge can gain ground & that other people have access to that information so they can disseminate it & scale it up
